Hi everybody. I just found this forum, and am pleased to see it is quite nice and informative.
I am regular guy in his 50's and own only one Dan Wesson. From what I could gather reading through many posts here, my revolver is a Dan Wesson 44-10V. I hope that is correct. I have no pics as of now (seems shameful). I purchased the revolver about 15 years ago, after being encouraged to join a nearby silhouette club. The revolver is in nice shape, but came with what looks like an aftermarket Hogue grip and nothing else. I have had a buddy use his wrench to remove the shroud, check and clean the unit, and replace properly with a gauge to 0.006. I need to get off my butt and order a wrench (or make on?) The revolver shoots mostly well. Mostly. 🙁
Occasionally the revolver will surprise me by having the hammer fall on an already fired cylinder. By that I mean, I always pull back the hammer and squeeze the trigger, but very rarely it seems that the cylinder moved and I dropped the hammer on a spent case. It is an odd surprise, to say the least. I still love the revolver though. a local smith created a stronger hand spring, but the problem persists. Maybe I am limp-wristing it. ha, ha.
By the way, the revolver looks quite nice. I have no idea how old it is though. It has a serial number of 004###, which seems low, but what do I know. 🙂 It is a Monson make.
Oops, too long an introduction. It's a pleasure to have found this place.

Sounds like the cylinder is not advancing as it should ... how's the lock-up ?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

When your smith installed the stronger spring, did he also give the rest of the action a good scrubbing & lube? I would assume he would, but I had to ask.

Seems like it is fine. Sorry for the delayed response. Been busy casting. 🙂
